Hey Jack, I live in LV also. I have been thinking of getting new wheels/tires. If you are interested, maybe we can make a swap. I have 15" s10 wheels with Radial T/A's with a lot of miles left on them ( less than 10K on them so far). I think they look pretty good. I was thinking like $300 for the wheels and tires.
Even if you aren't interested, get in touch with me. I'm the local Regional Director.

you could always try a local classic/hot rod dealer.we have one around here http://www.maplemotors.com/
and i am getting some c3 corvette 8-slots for myself for $400 fully polished etc.i have seen these same wheels going for up to $1000.they get the older cars and put new wheels on 'em and sell the old factory wheels.
just an option if you cannot find what you're looking for.

Here are some pics of the wheels I have. They are all four 15x8.5, not sure of the make. They are a uni-lug design that I used on a 71' so the 4.75" pattern is good. They are in good condition, I repainted the gray part when I got them. They were dirty and I gave them just a quick shot of simple green and wiped them down before the pic's. Some polish would make a big difference. One flaw is that one of the knock off style spinners has the Bowtie logo sticker missing. The chrome lugnuts and washers are included however the tire is not. There are two with tires still mounted, I included a picture of one so you could see how they look with a tire mounted. The price is $200 for the set.

altho i like the torque thrust wheels i ,myself,would not buy them for an elky only because they are starting to be the most common wheel out there.
my opinion only but the el camino is unique to most older cars on the road,thats why we all love them,and so they deserve wheels that are somewhat unique.every tom,dick and harry are buying the tt wheels as most places will tell you they are their best seller.
now,the tt wheels will look great on your elky but you will also be going down the road and see them on camaros,firebirds,malibus,chevelles,impalas,mustan gs,cutlass,etc,etc.see what i mean.i want that person walking by to see mine and say "wow cool wheels!!" rather than walk by and say "yeah allright" or "yeah,my brothers got a set of those"
just my thought process when i started looking.
